Qatar’s construction sector is on a clear upward trajectory, reflecting the country’s continued investment in infrastructure, real estate, and industrial expansion. As the industry gears up for the Big 5 Construct Qatar event, set to begin today, over 250 international and regional brands from 25 countries will showcase solutions spanning the entire construction value chain. Samer Itani, Portfolio Commercial Director of dmg events, emphasizes the significance of this event, stating, “The growth ahead spans every layer of the value chain, from transport and utilities to mixed-use developments and sustainable urban projects. However, with this scale comes greater demand for skilled talent, modern construction technologies, and more resilient supply chains. This is where industry events such as Big 5 Construct Qatar become important.”
The event, co-located with INDEX Design Qatar, brings together suppliers, contractors, and decision-makers crucial for ongoing and upcoming projects. Itani notes, “It helps to ensure the right expertise and partnerships are in place to support sustainable growth and the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.” The Qatar construction market is estimated at $68.70 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $106.33 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.13% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
Highlighting the significance of hosting Big 5 Construct Qatar from October 14-16, 2025, Itani explains, “Hosting Big 5 Construct Qatar supports the country’s commitment to advancing its built environment in line with national development priorities and Qatar National Vision 2030.” The exhibition aims to bridge local project demand and international supply capabilities, enabling knowledge transfer, technology sourcing, and long-term business partnerships.
This year’s edition introduces several new features, including Big 5 Talks, a CPD-certified series of sessions covering key themes such as sustainability, modular construction, project management, and construction technology. Additionally, in collaboration with Qatar Tourism, the event introduces the Hosted Buyer Programme. This initiative invites senior construction and procurement professionals to connect directly with suppliers, evaluate new products, and establish strategic sourcing relationships across Qatar’s construction market. Itani adds, “Alongside product showcases, the event will also host sector-focused networking opportunities, including an exclusive session organized by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), bringing together contractors, consultants, project managers, and procurement leaders for structured business matchmaking and peer-to-peer engagement.”
As Qatar’s construction sector continues to grow, events like Big 5 Construct Qatar play a pivotal role in fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development. The industry’s focus on integrating modern technologies, skilled talent, and resilient supply chains underscores its commitment to advancing the built environment in alignment with national vision and global sustainability goals.
